Everyone at this point is probably familiar with Multi-factor Authentication, or MFA. In short it is the process of verifying a login through secondary means. Duo as an application functions as a secure MFA platform that can be used across all the devices that you use to access your secure data. The mission of Duo is to ensure that the identity of the person logging in is accurate to who they actually are. It does this through multiple levels of verification, learning your regular habits, and continually checking for potential security breaches.
Below shows some of the ways Duo works with your smartphone to keep you secure:
The Why:
We at SSI recommend Duo due to the adaptive protection that it offers while still being user friendly. We all know why MFA and identity protection is important, but we have all still felt the pang of annoyance when having to approve a login or verify a request. Duo holds all of the accounts and requests in one app so there is never confusion on how to login. Duo has the ability to log “trusted devices” which streamlines this process further when using the same phone or computer for work tasks, reducing the amount of times you are prompted for a verification. Using their patented AI technology Duo is able to learn users habits and will send security notifications when it detects unfamiliar behavior. Admin users in a company have the ability to set custom security parameters and get real time updates to maximize data protection. Unlike many other MFAs Duo’s protection doesn’t just stop at the log in screen, which is why we advocate for its use.
